The 199-bed, non-profit community teaching hospital will use the InSite One system for its single archiving strategy for long-term archiving across the clinical enterprise, incorporating radiology and cardiology studies.

Neurognostics recently installed its MindState Functional MR Imaging (fMRI) suite of products and services at Waukesha Memorial Hospital in Wisconsin. fMRI gives Waukesha Memorial Hospital the capability of mapping important brain functions prior to operating on patients with brain tumors and epilepsy.
The Center for Advanced GI of Maitland, Fla. is offering the SmartPill GI Monitoring System to patients with suspected motility disorders. SmartPill can be used to aid in the evaluation of gastrointestinal motility disorders, including those patients suffering from symptoms of slow gastric emptying, a condition known as gastroparesis. Symptoms of gastroparesis include heartburn, nausea, vomiting of undigested food, abdominal bloating, erratic blood glucose levels and spasms of the stomach wall. A complement to endoscopy, the SmartPill pH.p Capsule has the potential to replace gastric emptying scintigraphy.
